Wall Video: Film, Compare and Fix a Problem

In groups of three, each climber is filmed on a problem, the video is reviewed with a technique checklist, and they climb again to compare. Students learn to use the camera as a learning tool while respecting privacy.

How to play

1. Privacy rules: film only with permission, only the wall and the moving body, and delete everything at the end of class (3 min).
2. First take: each group member climbs while another films in landscape from 3 m away (8 min).
3. Review with the sheet: hip position, eyes on the foot, straight arms, pauses; freeze the frame on the crux (10 min).
4. Second take, applying one fix chosen by the climber (8 min).
5. Compare both videos side by side or back to back, then delete all files in front of the climber (6 min).

Rules

• Don't film faces or anyone in the background who hasn't agreed.
• Videos stay on the school device and aren't shared.
• Feet under 1.5 m.
• Whoever films stays off the mat.

Variations

Adaptations

• Students who are hard of hearing: the sheet uses icons and the review is done by pointing at the screen.
• Students who don't want to be filmed: observed live with the same sheet.
• Injured students: analyst for two groups.

Learning goals

• Analyze your own technique with visual data.
• Apply one specific fix and check its effect.
• Use digital devices with respect for privacy.

Equipment for a class of 25

• wall bars: 10
• gym mats: 8
• tablets: 9
• observation sheets: 9

Teacher tip

Use school tablets, never personal phones, and check that files are deleted before collecting them. The usual mistake is filming too close: from 3 m you see the whole body and the feet.
